One of my favorite parts of Canada, beside the 6 hours we spent at a GORGEOUS spa on our last day in Whistler, was all the time we got to spend walking around, hiking and seeing the sites. And the signs.

Because y’all, Canada has some AMAZING signs.

So, this one isn’t so much a great sign as much as it is an awesome idea. What could possibly go wrong putting an electrical fence around a big body of water? I mean really. Water and electricity are pretty much best friends.

I’m tragically sad I didn’t get to see any of these on our nature hikes. If only because I had almost no reason to keep repeating it’s name. I feel like this animal is a “your mama” joke in the making.

Equally awesome food name. It makes me laugh because I’m a 12 year old boy. Related: they are DELICIOUS, but super awkward to recommend to strangers. “Dude, have you tasted a beavertail yet?”

In Canada, they’re very serious about their speed limits. In Vancouver, if you go over 30 km/hour your HAND FALLS RIGHT OFF. It was terrifying not knowing how many miles per hour that converted to.

I can think of nothing more terrifying than a black diamond ski run called “Surprise.” They may as well call it “Death Wish.” Surprise, you broke all the bones in your body!

In Canada, random electricity from big boxes on the street will cut you in half.

Why it’s tough being the Y in YMCA.

I’m pretty sure this is the surprise in the “surprise” run.
